What is the purpose to "root" the phone? What does it do?

[erod550]

Gives you access to certain hardware functions you can't normally use, like the wi-fi hotspot feature. You can use it without rooting, but you have to pay Sprint $30/mo. (This comment was HTC Evo specific).

It also allows you to do things like run other versions of the android operating system, delete any preinstalled crapware and open up a fair amount of functionality you wouldn't have otherwise. For example, today I installed a piece of software that will allow me to set up certain circumstances to overclock and underclock my phone. My Fascinate is plenty fast, so I set it to underclock the phone's cpu from 1ghz to 400 mhz when the screen is turned off to save battery life.

sweet. I think I would be way over my head playing with that stuff. I unforutunatly got out of the "geek world" (Computers) about 7 years ago and just lost way to much knowledge to jump back into it. I used to love tinkering with clock speeds and such. Maybe I will try it on the roomates phone so I wont break mine
